Artist's Comments

This one's not for the Hatter25 challenge; just some cheap fun.

My husband brought home a bunch of framed Art Nouveau prints, and I got the bug. It gets the job done. (What would the Hatter's haberdashery be called, anyway?)

Props to :iconbri-chan:; Reggie is her Hatter.


Inked by hand, colored in Adobe PhotoDeluxe, font is: "Nouveau Riche".

I love this! It is absolutely wonderful. I like the colors used; the Mad Hatter definitely is planning something!
:iconthirtynotes:
I looove his collar. He certainly looks devious...
:iconbri-chan:
Yes, much love for the collar. *pinches his bulbous nose* :love:
:iconamoryburgess:
Beautiful, yours deserves to be framed also :D Love the palette. "The Mad Hattery" is perfect.

...and my wet blanket moment: Mercury poisoning suffered by many hatters in the 18th century and 19th century, when mercury was used in the manufacture of felt. Absorption of mercury through the skin can cause Korsakoff's syndrome. These hatters so afflicted were also known as mad hatters.

Hmm...When I was a kid I used to break open thermometers to play with the mercury all the time...but sadly it always disappeared into my hand eventually :( Luckily, no ill side effects :giggle:
:iconsmyrnasketcher:
those eyes (or should i say eye) combined with that smile, just makes me think that he's going to do something very very naughty....

And that's what it was that your art reminded me of...Art Nouveau...a saw a lot of it every day when i took french in high school...

and of course, it's very nice. love it! =D

:iconsaltatrix:

I love watching you draw Reg. It just tickles me to pieces and makes me jealous as all get-out that I don't have your talent. I feel the same way about Bri-chan. Rawr to you phenomenal artists!

As a child of the 80's, I have always loved the look of a popped collar. The top hat really ratchets up the elegance. :)

What would his hat shop be called, I wonder?

I had heard that from a few sources recently. What a sad thing. Our parents were always very careful to warn us not to mess with mercury, though we did have a toy, a clear disc with a maze inside and a blob of mercury that would run around inside it. Loads of fun!

See, now, I was looking for someone who spoke French so I could come up with a decent tagline for this. :)

Naughty is his middle name, isn't it? Or, no, it's L. L for licentious. O snap!
